Is family mediation cheaper than using lawyers to handle a divorce?

If you are going through a divorce, mediation can have many benefits. One key question people ask is whether family mediation is cheaper than lawyers to handle a divorce?

This video will answer all your questions about divorce mediation.

Summary:

Family mediation is usually cheaper than using lawyers for a contentious divorce. Spouses can often reach common ground on many of the legal issues involved in their case, including agreeing to a custody arrangement, amount of child support, property division and spousal support. This can help transform a contested divorce or custody case to an uncontested one in which the parties simply ask the judge to enter the agreement as a court order, if necessary. Probate costs can be split between the parties. Litigation is often expensive because multiple costs and fees may be incurred by both parties, such as attorney’s fees, discovery costs, expert witness fees and potentially fees to pay for a guardian ad litem to represent the interests of the child involved.
